Dear Mark

you said in answer to -pbc nojump that using of new xtc file for analysis section depends what one wants to observe.

what observations is relevant to periodicity?


Anything that measures where something is relative to another. Normally one is only interested in the nearest periodic image. IIRC, some of the GROMACS tools are PBC-aware and determine the nearest suitable for themselves, other times they treat the trajectory as if there were no periodicity. In the latter case, if your results will be sensitive to the actual locations of atoms with respect to the periodic cell, then you'll wish to use trjconv to choose the configuration best suited to your needs. In the analysis desired the original post, the waters should all be in the same cell as the DNA+protein interstice, hence centering the cell on that group, and putting all waters into the cell.
